Most of his experience is at guard, not center.
While he has taken some snaps at center, most of Beerntsen’s experience has come at right guard. The Ravens have an open competition for the starting center spot, but that position is not viewed as his strength.
“He has played some center, not a lot,” General Manager Eric DeCosta said. “He’s been playing college football for a long time. Physical, tough, gritty type of Big 10, Midwest offensive lineman. At that point in the draft, he was by far the highest-rated player for us, and he’s got a good chance to help us at some point.”
